I am 5'5" and weigh 135 lbs.
Your honest opinion please, do I sound
overweight?
I also have a "muffin effect" over the top
of my jeans which doesn't look that
attractive.

maybe you're wearing your pants too tight.
Buy a bigger pair of pants and leave the
"am I fat" questions at home...

You are definitely not overweight. You are
probably just wearing your jeans too
tight. What size are you buying? I am just
about a half inch taller than you and I
would kill to be 135 pounds again. That
was a very good wieght for me. I weigh
about 155-160 now. You probably just need
to make better choices when you go
shopping.

Yes, I need to buy new pants.
It will definitely stop the ugly muffin
effect.

You're not. I have a friend who weighs 120
lbs at 5' tall, and not once did I
consider her fat. I actually love her
curves.

According the the AMA, your Body Mass
Index is 22, which is exactly in the
middle of the "normal range" . Your ideal
weight should range from 113-148 pounds.
Your description of the "ugly muffin"
makes me laugh. i have never heard it
called that, but I would say that
describes a lot of women, myself included.
Maybe some toning exercises would help,
but I have been doing it for years, and
nothing seems to help mine. Seems as
though it is a function of having carried
two children and getting really stretched
out. It's like a left-over skin flap from
liposuction. I have decided that in order
to love myself, I have to love it too, as
disgusting as mine appears to be. So,
nope, you are not overweight!
Congratulations!
